# SurfacePoint

## About
SurfacePoint is a web-based quality, inspection, and digital twin inspection application for manufacturing and corporate quality teams. It helps teams inspect physical products, record defects and observations on a matching digital twin, manage review workflows, and keep traceable evidence from inspection through resolution.

SurfacePoint is designed for organizations that need a clearer alternative to paper checklists, loose screenshots, spreadsheets, email threads, and disconnected quality records.

## Core Capabilities
- Upload and manage 3D product models for digital twin inspection workflows.
- Inspect physical products and pin defects, observations, and non-conformances to the matching digital twin location.
- Capture photos, notes, severity, category, issue source, project, plant, business unit, material, batch, serial, lot, purchase order, and trace ID context.
- Review observations with role-based access for inspectors, engineers, managers, and other quality stakeholders.
- Track non-conformance status, dispositions, approvals, RCA, containment, corrective actions, preventive actions, due dates, reminders, owners, and verification.
- Export inspection and quality reports for internal reviews, customer communication, supplier follow-up, and audit preparation.
- Keep records separated by organization with permission controls, storage controls, and traceable audit activity.

## Differentiators
- SurfacePoint links inspection evidence directly to a digital twin location instead of leaving teams to interpret 2D screenshots or text-only defect lists.
- SurfacePoint keeps the workflow connected from defect capture to review, non-conformance handling, RCA, CAPA, reporting, and closure.
- SurfacePoint is built for practical inspection work: inspectors can capture findings, managers can triage, and quality teams can maintain a controlled record.
- SurfacePoint gives corporate teams a single place to see where an issue is on the product, what evidence supports it, who owns the next step, and what happened historically.
